Abstract

An electroanalytical sensor was constructed constituted on a carbon paste electrode (CPE) with a ZIF-67 modifier and devoted to the quantification of Tl(I). Several characterization tests including XRD, BET, FT-IR, SEM/EDS/mapping, TEM, impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and cyclic voltammetry (CV) were performed on the synthesized ZIF-67 nanocrystals and CPE matrix. Central composite design (CCD) was used to assess the impact of variables affecting the sensor response, including the weight percent of ZIF-67 (14%), the pH of the thallium accumulation solution (6.4), and accumulation time (315 s) as well as the accumulation potential (−1.2 V). The direct linear relationship between the sensor response and the concentration of Tl(I) is in the interval of 1.0×10−10 to 5.0×10-7 M (coefficient of determination = 0.9994). The detection limit is approximately 1.0 × 10−11 M. The right selection of the MOF makes this sensor highly resistant to the interference of other ions. High selectivity against common interferences in the measurement of thallium (such as Pb(II) and Cd(II)) is an important feature of this sensor. To confirm the performance of the prepared sensor, the amount of thallium in the real sample was determined.
